"My lord, Staff Officer Shan has defected."

At that time, Yu Zhong came to Wang Zezhi's room to report.

"You can't keep what you should go, you can't leave what you should stay, let him go."

Shan Tongshan's sudden change and non-resignation made Wang Zezhi very angry.

Angry is angry, he won't kill Shan Tongshan.

Shan Tongshan was the first literati to follow him, and he was unwilling to kill him.

When Shan Tongshan stepped out of the door, Wang Zezhi knew.

He chose to let Shan Tongshan leave.

He treats Shan Tongshan well, but Shan Tongshan turned against him because he killed a few rebellious soldiers, and Wang Zezhi couldn't understand why.

If you don't understand, you don't want to, and it's important to sleep.

"It's made, it's made."

Wang Zezhi was just about to sleep, Ma Huai and Zhao Can ran over with an iron stove with an excited face.

Wang Zezhi heard the shouts of the two of them, got up and ran out.

The two men cast the water tank and furnace body separately, and then used a mortise and tenon structure to combine the furnace body and the water tank.

It not only solves the problem of water leakage of the water tank, but also solves the problem of smoke leakage of the furnace body.

The two briquettes in the iron stove were burning vigorously, and the water inlet of the water tank was constantly steaming.

"It's done, it's really done, hahaha..."

Wang Zezhi was so happy.

He didn't expect that people of this era would be able to use hand-casting skills to create iron furnaces.

The main thing is that the iron stove that the two of them cast is delicate and strong.

This was completely unexpected.

"You have made an iron furnace for your merit, and each of you will be rewarded with ten taels of silver."

"Master Xie."

"Master Xie."

As soon as the two of them heard that there was a reward, they hurriedly bowed down and thanked them.

"In this way, you recruit some more apprentices, and we have more people now."

"My lord, one person has ten apprentices, and I can't teach it."

Ma Huai said embarrassedly.

"Yes, yes." Zhao Can also cautiously agreed.

"In this case, then let your apprentices take apprentices, and for every apprentice your apprentices accept, I will give you a reward of eight dollars."

"What?"

Ma Huai was stunned and looked at Wang Zezhi in disbelief.

This was the first time they had heard of such a statement.

The last time each apprentice received ten taels of silver, this money was the same as the one he picked up, and the two of them were tempted at once.

Those who have tasted sweetness will never forget the sweetness.

"Master Xie, dare to ask what the new apprentice recruited by the Lord is doing?"

Zhao Can was not in a daze, he reacted immediately and asked respectfully.

"Twenty people were selected to teach the method of building iron furnaces, and after learning them, they were sent to the coal mine to be managed by Wang Xian.

Others, still learn to build weapons and equipment.

By the way, how did the Lumi Gun and the Red Cannon go? ”

Wang first took the migrant workers at the gate of the camp to dig coal in the coal mine, first, to increase production, and second, to let them know what they were selling.

Of course, he also took the briquette-making equipment with him.

While digging coal, you make briquettes.

"Now that there are enough manpower, fifty Lumi guns have been made, and the red-coated cannon will be able to be built in seven days."

Ma Huai came back to his senses and said excitedly.

"Why is it so slow? You have three or four hundred apprentices, right? Wang Zezhi frowned and asked dissatisfiedly. together

"My lord, don't you know, the apprentices' skills are not pure, you have to teach them to build weapons by hand, some learn quickly, some learn slowly.

If they want to be pure and create qualified weapons, they will have to learn for a month. ”

Ma Huai explained worriedly.

Wang Zeyi thought, but he was in a hurry, frowned, and comforted the two.

When the two left, they specially instructed them to just let go and accept the apprentices, and the money he gave them could not be put down, but the progress of building weapons could not be put down.

The two of them were ordered to put the iron stove in front of Wang Zezhi's house and go back to rest.

Wang Zezhi looked at the iron stove in front of him, and felt like a world away.

"Like, not like, it's okay."

This iron furnace is assembled with a mortise and tenon structure, which is still different from modern iron furnaces.

Wang Zezhi shook his head and went back to the house to sleep.

By the time the day came, the sky was already bright.

Wang Zezhi ordered Li Hua to inform the recruits in the camp that their families would be arranged to visit them today.

It is convenient for them to give their own food and hidden meals to their families.

Wang Zezhi notified the homeless camp an hour ago, so that they could rush over.

At this moment, the sergeants outside the camp gate looked up their names with the household registration book, and then led them towards the camp one by one.

The sergeant led the men to the corresponding barracks and departed to lead them on.

"Mother, Cuihua, you're here."

Shen Goudan looked at his mother and child daughter-in-law excitedly, and he didn't know what to say excitedly, so he quickly took out the mutton wrapped in lotus leaves in his arms.

If this mutton wrap stinks in his stinky clothes, wrapped in lotus leaves, after a night, it will only smell like lotus leaves.

Shen Goudan's mother took the mutton, handed it to the child daughter-in-law behind her, and circled around Shen Goudan, happily closing her mouth.

"My son is so handsome, look at Cuihua."

"Hmm." Cuihua didn't look at Shen Goudan, but stared at the mutton in her hand and swallowed her saliva with difficulty.

The mother-in-law didn't speak, she couldn't eat first.

No matter how greedy she is, she can't eat it first, it will ruin the etiquette.

"Mother, Cuihua, you come in, come."

Shen Goudan took the two of them to the camp, opened his wardrobe, and took out dozens of copper coins and a few liters of rice and grain.

"Mother, I'm here for a tael a month, a stone of rice grain, it's only a few days this month, there are only so many.

On the first day of the seventh month, there will be a salary, and when the time comes, you will come and get it, and you will take it back first. ”

"Really?" Shen Goudan's mother was still a little incredulous, and she asked in disbelief.

"Of course it's true, you see this money, this rice grain, it's all really sent to us."

Shen Goudan stuffed the copper coin into his mother's hand, and his mother counted it and happily put it in her arms.

"Cuihua, carry the grain."

"Hmm."

Cuihua is Shen Goudan's child daughter-in-law, five years older than Shen Goudan.

Although he has not eaten enough for a long time and his body is thin, he still has strength.

She held the mutton in one hand and the grain in the other, and stood obediently behind her mother.

"Cuihua, you have suffered with me, and you won't be in the future, it's good here."

"Hmm." All Cuihua was thinking about was mutton, but she just nodded and replied, and she didn't say much.

"Okay, okay, I'll go back with Cuihua to make a delicious meal first, this mutton, I've almost forgotten what it tastes like."

"Eh, okay, then you can come and see me when you have time."

"Well, okay, my mother is leaving."

Shen Goudan took Cuihua and left, Shen Goudan was sent to the camp guard, he was stopped by the sergeant guarding and watched them go away, so he reluctantly returned to the camp.

The camp was full of family members who had come to visit, and people were happy to see that their families were doing well here, as well as their food.

This is Wang Zezhi's purpose, one is to tell their family that they are doing well here.

The second is to tell the sergeant that he must be honest here, only then will his family live well.

There is also a subconscious meaning, which is to tell the sergeants not to make small moves, otherwise their families will also be implicated.
